LIORAÉ

“I am not like him.”

I looked up at Soren with my eyebrow going up. “Like who?”

“Your ex-boyfriend. I will never hurt you.”

“I don’t need you to snake empty promises to me.”

“They aren't empty promises.”

“We don't mean anything to each other for you to make such promises to me.”

“I want you to mean much more than you can ever imagine to me.”

“My answer stays the same.”

“I won’t stop trying.”

The table was filled almost immediately. He had ordered almost everything on their menu.

  • One Night Stand with Her Obsessed Billionaire Boss   CHAPTER SIXTY-TWO: GHOSTLY EGO OF THE PAST

    LIORAÉ“Evan? What the hell do you want?”“Are you okay?” he asked in a concerned voice. He couldn't hide the fakeness in it, though. I blinked rapidly and let out a long sigh.“What is it to you? I have no business with you, so why should you be asking me such personal questions?” I asked, shuffling on my feet.He hummed and then paused. The line was buzzing with the electric static noise from both ends.“That's no way to talk to your fiancé,” he said.“My fiancé?” I repeated, and he grunted.Was this man living in some kind of fever dream? I had clearly ended things with him, and every one of my family's attempts to get us back together had failed.“We already broke off the engagement. How dare you…”“Lioraé, I never agreed to breaking off the engagement,” he cut me off in a calm voice.He was calm, and that made it worse. Evan was never a level-headed kind of man. All he ever did was try to have his way every time something happened.I wondered how I had been so blind to everything

  • One Night Stand with Her Obsessed Billionaire Boss   CHAPTER SIXTY-ONE: WANT YOU NOW

    LIORAÉSoren’s warm, solid body was pressed against my back, his arm wrapped securely around my waist.My eyes fluttered open, slowly at first, and then his scent filled my nose, sending my brain into panic mode.Memories from last night flooded in, one after the other. His hand holding mine, him confessing to me like he meant every word he said, and the way he made the night feel special.I had always seen the romantic side of things in movies but never gotten them myself, even when I convinced myself that I was a hopeless romantic.I was just realizing now that everything that didn’t directly inflate Evan’s ego was a waste of time to him and indirectly to me in the end.I had seen the signs but tried to avoid them, and then, in the end, it turned out to be him cheating on me so shamelessly.Soren’s grip tightened, and he pulled me closer to him. His nose nuzzled into my hair, and he took deep breaths.“You’re awake,” he declared in a half-asleep voice.I tried to act like I wasn’t,

  • One Night Stand with Her Obsessed Billionaire Boss   CHAPTER SIXTY: JUST LIORAÉ

    LIORAÉ“You just need to be Lioraé.”“What?” I barely registered what he meant. He had turned to my side and placed my hand in his as he led us through the hotel lobby to the top floor.The top floor was a small rooftop inner garden. It looked more like a greenhouse. I turned to him with my brows arched in confusion.He snapped his fingers, and the light came on. Everything in the room was twinkling just like I had seen in the movies.I had always hoped I’d stand in those shoes one day and maybe feel the sincerity coming from the man. I never imagined I’d live a life straight out of a romance novel.“You prepared all of this?” I asked him.He shrugged like he had done nothing and nodded. He took my hand and led me in. “I wanted to do more, but you only gave me a few hours.”“A few hours?” I repeated, and then realized that he had managed to do this just from when we had spoken in the morning to now.“Don’t tell me you didn’t actually do any work all day and just focused on planning th

  • One Night Stand with Her Obsessed Billionaire Boss   CHAPTER FIFTY-NINE: THE FIRST DATE

    LIORAÉSoren had sent me home to freshen up. He had a meeting and insisted I needed a little rest before the dinner tonight.“I will pick you up,” he said, pushing me into the car and strapping the seatbelt over me. He kissed the side of my head.I sat at the back of the car watching him stand in the parking lot basement as we drove away.When I got home, Avery was eating chips in the living room. She rushed up to me and grabbed my hand, leading me slowly to the couch like I had not been walking around fine.“I am fine.”“I know, but you are pregnant with my niece or nephew.” She paused, pressed her lips together, tilted her head, and her eyes swirled like she was thinking.“I meant you are pregnant with my niece. I am going to spoil her, so naturally, I should spoil you too.”“You don’t have to…”“You don’t have to refuse,” she cut me off and sighed. “Just enjoy it.”She smiled, patting my stomach gently.If everyone in the Vale family was like her, then maybe the idea of being Soren

  • One Night Stand with Her Obsessed Billionaire Boss   CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHT: STANDING BESIDE HIM. 

    LIORAÉI knew that standing beside Soren was not as easy as words.I didn’t even know when I had decided it was what I wanted. It just felt like the only option I had as of now.“What does that mean?” I asked.Adrian cracked a smile and tilted his head. The usual jovial smile that made me seem less intimidated by Soren came up on.“I guess you’ll get to know the longer you stand by him.”Soren’s hand sank through my waist before I could respond. I looked up at him. He had a frown on his face, his brows knitted together and his lips pressed into a thin line.“It’s been years, Adrian, yet you still haven’t learned the proper way to speak,” Soren said.Adrian didn’t react. It was almost as if he was expecting Soren to go at him like that.“Dear brother,. I am just doing the Lord’s work. It would be a shame if Lioraé gets into this without knowing fully what she is going into.”Soren took a step forward, blocking him from my path. “If you have something to say, then say it. Stop hiding be

  • One Night Stand with Her Obsessed Billionaire Boss   CHAPTER FIFTY-SEVEN: BACK TO WORK

    LIORAÉSoren hovered over me as I prepared to resume work.“Are you sure you have to go?”I turned to him, my lipstick layering on a thin layer of pink onto my lips.“We already spoke about this,” I murmured.“I know.” He nodded. “But it is not too late to change your mind.”“I am not changing my mind, Soren. I want to work, and you know it.”“I know, but you are pregnant…”“Pregnant, not disabled,” I finished for him.He took a deep breath and lowered himself onto the bed.“Alright, there is no winning with you, is there?”“You are being paranoid and overprotective.”“I’m not overprotective.”Pause.“I’m appropriately protective.”I rolled my eyes and turned to the mirror. I rubbed my stomach gently. It was weird how, in just a few weeks, my life was no longer what I knew it to be.“I will walk up with you,” Soren said when the car pulled into the underground parking lot.I had personally requested that we didn’t pull up to the reception together. I didn’t know if I could take the go
